Wem Town Hall Cafe Bar in Shropshire

Dropped in for a spot of lunch as we were passing through. Friendly staff. Decent menu at reasonable prices. Freshly produced food with decent portions. No WiFi.

Basically came in to pass the time. But it is a haven of peace in a town where most places are plagued by the post-modern muzak of tinny pop music.

Good choice of menu, the jacket potatos were wonderful, well cooked and choice of toppings, the cakes were fabulous, lots of choice looked home made - we had coffee cake and it was light and delicious - lovely and clean and quick service too

Lovely place to meet for a coffee and catch up.This is the second or third time I have been here and each time I've enjoyed the service, which is very good and the cakes are lovely to. Great assess for a wheelchair or in my Mum's case a walker.

After a hectic weeks of work I had stumbled across this little town hall cafe and it was a real delight. Fresh cakes and coffee served with a smile. WiFi code given so I could continue work and really felt a local I was treated that well.

What a fabulous community cafe. Very happy friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The hot chocolate and tea were piping hot and the homemade cake was delicious. Everywhere was clean and the loo was too. Lovely thank you.

We came across this when visiting the areas and had a lovely lunch freshly prepared. The staff were very friendly and the paintings in the gallery were lovely to see. It was good to see that this is also the local cinema and the ticket prices were excellent. Well done Wem. I gather this is a real community hub.

Called in for a coffee and cake, very friendly staff and really good coffee, also was able to get information on local what's on and local maps, well worth a visit....

Very friendly staff. Good selection and well worth a visit. Good coffee and choices for lunch or a snack.

My husband and I came to Wem to visit some of his childhood haunts. He had been brought up near Wem and went to school there. I had looked on the web for a coffee bar but had not spotted this one. However, luckily we parked almost across the road from the Town Hall and were delighted when we walked in to find a warm and welcoming environment. The staff were so friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a light lunch, before going in search of Edstaston Church and Whixall Moss. We so enjoyed the first visit that we returned in the afternoon for tea and then looked round the art and craft displays. There were some inspirational pieces there and it was exciting the meet the creator of the stamp craft, who served us coffee! I ended up buying some gifts for friends, which were unusual and very reasonably priced too.

Popped in on a busy Saturday morning and had the most superb home made tomatoe soup, they also catered for my 'Gluten Free' guest with a sandwich and cake.

Went on a Monday and seeming that practically everything else was shut, this was the best/easiest place to go. Average prices in the café, paintings to look at and believe there were toilets there as well. Definitely do not go to Wem on mondays or sundays unless you literally just want a sandwich and a trip to the local supermarket.

Lovely staff and very helpful. This venue doubles up as tourist info, cafe and cinema. Good prices. I asked for 2 bacon sandwiches as I had a dog that could not go in and they obliged. Good place as little else is open in the town on a Monday morning in February!

Really friendly staff. Good brew. Good cake. Relaxed atmosphere. Even got info on places to visit and local history.

The soup was a meal in itself. Very tasty, I would highly recommend it, however as it is always homemade and fresh on that day you never know what is going to be on the menu. I had chick pea and tomato - mmm. Hopefully they will make it again soon. Good ambience and free wii fi.

A nice place to go for a coffee and chill friendly atmosphere delicious cakes they also have movie nights

Este es un café agradable en el Ayuntamiento de la ciudad, en el centro de Wem. Nos camino para el festival dulce pea pero seguros de qué sería para comer o beber allí, así que paramos para tomar un café y un aperitivo en el Ayuntamiento. Tanto el café y la tarta era excelente y el servicio muy amable.

Great building, friendly staff and very reasonable prices make this a pleasant place to stop and relax.

Fuimos allí a la hora del almuerzo y la sopa y un bocadillo oferta que es a un precio muy razonable. La comida es muy sabrosa y el servicio es excelente. Sin duda volveremos ya que es un lugar encantador para entrar cuando en la ciudad y una buena comida es en las tarjetas.

I went there to meet up with a friend's for coffee for the first time. I had a cappinchino and chocolate cake. It was nice. The staffs are very friendly and smiling. I sat there for a long time I'm very suprised they didn't say anything lol I can't wait to go again :)

Not open all the time , small dining area other than the main hall which is often used for receptions and parties etc.Good food available but this is not an a`la carte establishment. more of a licensed tea shop.

Probably the worst coffee I have tasted anywhere. They need to realise that you actually have to put coffe in the drinks

Have met a friend here a couple of times and have had the soup, this is always freshly made and of excellent quality. I have yet to try the cakes but they look gorgeous and the portions are a good size. Very pleasant and relaxed place to meet up with friends.

This place is really impressive for a modest sized rural community, the venue acts as a community and arts hub & the cafe in the airy foyer manages to be warm and comfortable in spite of it's size. Called in for coffee & cake & was pleasantly surprised at the quality of both.

We used the cafe during the wem harvest market this year, The food was a good quality, they even sent someone to the shop as they had run out of the filling we wanted, but instead of saying we dont have any, they went to the effort of getting it. A very nice touch that is missing for a lot of places these days.We only had a sandwich and some drinks, both were very nice and fairly good value for money. Would happily come back the next time we are in town.

This little cafe bar is great . I enjoy being able to buy something nice to eat or drink while at a performance at the town hall. Try it, this place needs support of locals and visitors alike!

Excellent service, home made cakes, very friendly staff, very welcoming and helpful to myself a disabled person.We enjoyed cake on our first visit but will return to have a lunch next time we're in Wem.

We had a great time at the Wem Town Hall cafe bar! The food was great' well worth the price. The bar staff were very nice, and the rest of the building had a very warm atmosphere. I definitely would recommend this place to any of my friends.

The cakes are amazing - freshly baked and delicious! Wem Town Hall cafe is a lovely place to relax with a coffee and cake, or to meet a friend for lunch. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. I've had lunch there a few times and they have a good selection of freshly made food that's really tasty and affordable too. It's really nice to see a community venue with such a nice, welcoming atmosphere.

A great place for lunch Wem town hall has a wide choice of offerings on it menu. The staff are friendly and the food was delicious. Wem town hall offers great access for disabled customers and parents with pushchairs, there is a lot of space between tables and the staff are very accommodating.

Had a slice of coffee and walnut cake that had been freshly baked that morning- wow! So nice to see a Town Hall full of local information and a nice and clean cafe with friendly, helpful staff.

Lovely new table covers, makes the place look very inviting and gives a homely feel. Karen is great and always helpful and smiley.

Good coffee and s great place to people watch. Has a little art gallery area and various events every month.

Could be so much nicer. Service poor with tables not cleaned often enough. Looks like they are cutting corners to make more money.Coffees/teas are mediocre. Cakes don't look appealing.

cake not that fresh, they don't make them themselves, they but them in, and please clean the tables, not leave them til theres only one clean table remaining

expensive for what restaurant prices in a café the high chairs are RAMMY to say the least...yes the straps do come off to be washed, not a great deal of choice, and don't go there if in a rush

Nice area to eat for snacky things, light and airy drop in atmosphere. Good coffee and cake. Limited menu.

We were cycling in the area and having difficulty finding a suitable pub stop for lunch. As we were passing through Wem we noticed the Town Hall had a café. How glad we were that we stopped to investigate! Such friendly people running it - and cyclists too. Very attractive foyer (as there is a theatre here too - in fact it is a 'multi use venue', boasting a cinema as well) and everything so clean and good to look at. A good menu choice of sandwiches, soups, pasta, cakes, coffee and other delights. My husband wasn't feeling too well, and they showed every sympathy, offering paracetamol for his headache, and a simple vegetable soup for his lunch while the rest of us ate more heartily. Cannot say enough for this café. If you are passing through Wem, this is the place to go for a light lunch. It is worth mentioning that it is open in the evening too and that it is open for drinks throughout the day.
